Although there isn't anyone to be found if you have a question, although even when you have found the person she doesn't speak much, if any ENGLISH. I still love this place. The view is lovely, the rooms are very clean (to my mother's Dettol standard). Its really very quiet. You definitely will get a good sleep here.

U can taxi up and walk down.. it's located on a hill. We had dinner there at the restaurant. Large portions (family style) but down to earth and delicious. This is my sanctuary. I come here once a year to clear my mind and breath the crisp fresh air, and to get some REAL SLEEP.

Room Tip: Lake view is top choice, but all other rooms are really nice too.

Bellevue - Bellavista is up the hill from Lugano in ritzy Montagnola. It's B&B style, the front desk is not always attended, but either the owner or her assistant is just a phone call away. We were traveling with our teenaged daughter to visit The American School in Switzerland, a short walk from the hotel. Our 2nd floor room was very clean, bright, and surprisingly large, with a queen-size bed and an extra bed for our daughter. The suite included a small kitchen, fully stocked with nice looking cooking gear and silverware, and a sparkling bathroom. The layout and windows make the most of the view of the city below, Lake Lugano, and the Alps beyond.

There is ample parking and the pizzeria / restaurant overlooking the lake is also the setting for breakfast. The buffet breakfast was a simple one: bread, rolls, juice, yoghurt, cereal, and tea/ coffee. Not a big spread, but fresh and tasty.

The hotel is a short walk from the Hermann Hesse museum in Montagnola, and an off-the-beaten-path walk takes you by some great natural scenery (away from the lake) and the museum.

The hotel is very pleasant and a good value.

I stayed in this hotel with my family for a week as a temporary housing solution for a relocation. I had two rooms, and ate in the hotel restaurant often. The owners made no attempt to make us feel at home, would not allow us late checkout on the last day, and offered no assistance with our 15 suitcases. To top it of we were scraching from bedbugs all week and had to deal with that after moving out. There are much better places in Lugano in the same pricerange, run by much better staff...

Dear Guest, Thank's for you comments. However, we are surprised by what you wrote. Our hotel as an hight standard of cleanness and it never happened that we had bedbugs in our beds, if this really happened why did you not note it to us already starting from the first day, instead waiting till checkout and fight with this problem throughout the entire week? It's hard to understand how someone can sleep in that conditions for so a long jurney...

With out best regards, Hotel Bellevue-Bellavista

Magnificant views from every room....Tiered villas overlooking Lake Maggiore....stunning views of Ascona and Locarno at night and in the morning sunlight...... Restaurant is virtually 4-Star or above with maagnificant dinner and breakfast to match the evening meal.

On east side of Lake Maggiore and a quick trip from there down to Lake Lugano and then on to Lake Como. lake Maggiore is every bit the "looker" as Lake Como...Views on either side of these lakes are unequaled......
